A young IMPD officer, Corey Owensby, son of FOP President Bill Owensby, has been indicted by a Marion County grand jury on multiple charges of misconduct and false reporting according to the Indianapolis Star. Charging documents cite five different cases over the past couple of years where Owensby mishandled evidence. He faces 13 criminal counts, including 5 counts of official misconduct, a Class D felony. Owensby has been suspended without pay pending a termination hearing before the merit board. “Any misconduct by one of our employees is taken seriously,” said IMPD Chief Rick Hite in a statement Thursday. “I want the community to know that IMPD’s internal systems identified the issue and we acted on the accusations. Officers are expected to act within department policies and the law; those who choose not to will be held accountable.”

Maybe he could work in Zionsville...They tend to avoid reporting drama within the department as based on years of troubles and more...
...his daddy sold out his FOP to The Boss, our mayor. They don't get raises, equipment, staffing, supplies. What do you bet, daddy gets the FOP to pay for his legal defense?
